About me

Angela Onwuanibe

MD, MPH, Board Certified Psychiatrist

I’ve been in psychiatry for over 24 years, and what has always driven me is the belief that stable mental health is crucial for leading a fulfilling life. At Solutions for Mindfulness, we emphasize team-based care and personalized treatment plans, as I believe that great mental health outcomes are achieved through collaborative efforts between patients, families, and healthcare partners.

I believe in working closely with my patients, allowing them to guide the treatment process. My holistic approach blends psychopharmacology with comprehensive mental health care, offering patients a chance to understand their own mental health and find solutions that work best for them. I focus on fostering trust and respect in the therapeutic relationship to ensure we achieve the best outcomes.
